This Ohio Burrito Chain’s New Dippers Are Perfect For Saucemaxxers
Sauce lovers, get ready to dip — another restaurant has introduced a saucy new menu item that makes it easy to saucemaxx your meal. Dippers are oh-so-trendy right now, with restaurants like Taco Bell and Habit Burger & Grill dipping their toes into the market with new menu items like Double Dipping Burritos and Dipping Trio featuring burgers. And now, Ohio-based restaurant Hot Head Burritos is getting in on the dipping action with a new, limited-time line of its own dipping sauce-ready bites.
Sam’s Club Just Changed A Divisive Deli Item (And Now It’s Much Better)
Copy this link to share with your friends! https://sporked.com/article/sams-club-members-mark-calzone-improvements/ Sam’s Club doesn’t get it right all the time. We’re always happy to give it a pat on the back when it drops a new deli item that sticks the landing, but every now and again, its prepared foods don’t quite prompt the rapturous response the store probably hopes for.
12 drinks you should never order at Dunkin'
12 Drinks You Should Never Order At Dunkin' With thousands of locations across the U.S., it's hard to find an American unfamiliar with Dunkin' — and you're far more likely to find a fan of the coffee giant instead. Of course, while the widely popular chain undoubtedly wows consumers with many of its delicious coffee creations, even a Dunkin' devotee can't deny that a handful of items gracing Dunkin's menu completely miss the mark.
We Can’t Wait To Buy These 5 Items From Publix In November
Especially since the fall and winter months have many defining holidays that characterize them, it becomes even more important to us here at Sporked to highlight to our readers what is new and in-season at the grocery stores. Publix being one of the leading grocery stores here in the south shouldn’t be overlooked in that regard either, especially since Publix brand products are so consistently well executed and impressive.
We Tried Kajun Loaded Tea’s New Gatorghoul Boo Box Just In Time For Halloween
The food of Louisiana is something you really have to experience to understand. Whether you’ve visited The Pelican State or not, everyone knows Cajun and Creole cuisine and classic Mardi Gras dishes like gumbo and étouffée. But down in the bayou, especially in New Orleans, folks love their neon-colored beverages. Kajun Loaded Tea is dishing out some Halloween-coded drinks straight from The Big Easy, and they’re as fun and quirky as the city itself.
We Tried 2 Amylu Breakfast Sausages, Now At Target
When it comes to salty, succulent breakfast meats, are you team sausage or bacon? Personally, I’m all about breakfast sausage. It has a great juicy bite, an explosion of salty-sweet flavor, and it’s a lot harder to mess up—the chances of getting bacon cooked just how you like it at a diner or deli are about one in 40. Although a breakfast sausage sandwich or a platter with scrambled eggs and juicy links is my ideal way to start the day, I gave up pork a while back.
Culver’s Latest Burger Might Be Hard To Find
You know what? I like Culver’s style. The restaurant chain doesn’t release new items every other week in what feels like a fairly scattergun, reactive fashion, unlike some other fast food ventures I could reel off here; instead, it sets a plan, and then executes it, steadily and surely.
Taco Bell Is Offering To Pay Towards Your College Tuition
Taco Bell’s been in the news a lot lately (although when is it not?), but as you’d probably expect from a restaurant chain, that’s mainly been due to its food. In the last few weeks, for instance, we’ve discussed its upgrades of test items to fully available ones, and the fact that Baja Blast is here to stay for at least another decade – and while these have all been interesting enough to talk about, they feel like pretty standard updates, no?
One Of Our Favorite Burger King Items Ever Is Now Available In Stores
We’ve talked a lot this year about how Burger King is getting better – and honestly, it really is putting in the work. From its new Whopper to its new chicken nuggets (which we weren’t blown away by, but we appreciated the effort), to its attempts at improving customer experience, it really has been putting in the hard yards. It’s been doing that with its limited-edition releases, too, and some of them have absolutely blown us away this year.
You Have To Try The 3 Best Things We Tasted This Week
Each week we here at Sporked like to give you all a little rundown of the very best things we ate throughout the week. Very often the things that we eat that actually give us the most joy through the sea of chaotic taste tests are potentially even the most mundane. But alas, the heart wants it wants, and we can’t only eat french fries and chicken nuggets all day, every day.
This International Burger King Has Removed Everything But The Beef, And We Have Questions
Fast food can be, and this is a massive understatement, a little quirky at times. And Japanese fast food is arguably some of the quirkiest of the bunch. This year, the Japanese menus of Western fast food franchises have delivered some pretty out-there stuff: Pizza Hut delivered a drinkable pizza in May, and followed it up with a noodle pizza a few weeks ago, while Burger King dropped a pair of sandwiches with 11 pickles each. Yes. Eleven. Sour flavor haters need not apply here.
Burger King Has A Scary Good BOGO Deal On 10/31
Sure, you might already have plans to eat as much candy as you possibly can on Halloween — or at least, that’s always been my own personal plan — but before you indulge in all things chocolate, caramel, and gummies, don’t miss the spooky fast food deal that’s happening at Burger King.
These Brands Make The Best Non-Alcoholic Beer
Maybe you’ve already heard, but these days, folks are leaving behind booze and reaching for non-alcoholic drinks. A few years back, when the alcohol-free trend started to take over among Gen Z and millennials, a few companies saw a chance to get in on the ground floor and make it so sober party-goers didn’t have to resort to ice tea or water.
Water Vs. Milk: Which Is The Better Way To Make Tomato Soup?
There's nothing quite like a comforting bowl of hot tomato soup to ward off the chill on a cold day. Whether you serve it with crackers or grilled cheese or just dive into a hearty bowl all on its own, this flavorful soup is one of the ultimate nostalgic comfort foods. There are a plethora of hacks to get the most out of your homemade tomato soup, like adding orange juice to balance out the flavors or topping it with croutons or roasted nuts for extra texture.
The Best Autumn-Coded Bettergoods Products To Pick Up This Season
As soon as the weather starts cooling down and the leaves start falling, it’s time to fire up the oven and get creative in the kitchen. The foods of autumn—from warm seasonings to pungent herbs and spiced fruits—are arguably the most anticipated seasonal flavors of the year. Come on, why else does pumpkin spice keep making an appearance earlier and earlier in the year?
Blame Beef: Over 300 Wendy’s Locations Just Filed For Bankruptcy
It’s no secret that food costs have been skyrocketing lately. Conflagration, the pandemic, and good ol’ fashioned inflation have caused the rising prices that are top of mind for every American, especially at the grocery store. Beef is one of the grocery items hit hardest by these record-breaking prices, so much so that some are skipping out on beef all together and opting for cheaper meats or even going veggie for a bit.
15 Unique Food Events Around The World You Need To Visit
Many celebrations involve food in some way, shape, or form. But when food is the celebration, you know you're in for a memorable experience. Food festivals and events have been a longstanding tradition around the world for centuries. They often feature a variety of cuisine and highlight specific restaurants or chefs within a region, like the NYC Food and Wine Festival. Some festivals, however, focus on a single theme, such as the National Fried Chicken Festival or the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
14 barista-approved brands for light roast coffee beans
14 Barista-Approved Brands For Light Roast Coffee Beans Not all coffee is created equal — and there's a lot more to coffee than the humble bean initially lets on. Of course, while the type of beans used (along with the roasting time and temperature) plays a dramatic role in the flavor profile of your morning cup of Joe, even non-bougie coffee drinkers know the most important difference lies in the roast level.

We Tried Pillsbury’s New Grands! Croissants
What’s better than a fresh-out-the-oven croissant? Not having to leave the house for one, that’s what. Enter Pillsbury, famous for their doughy, tubed products and ready-to-bake cookies that allow those of us with absolutely zero baking skills to enjoy fresh, hot treats at home. But what’s the worst part of those tubed croissants, cinnamon rolls, and cookie dough?
PopUp Bagels’ Latest Collab Is Perfectly On Trend For 2026
What do olive oil, cream cheese shmears, and bagels have in common? They should all be staples in every diet, period. Let’s talk Graza, one of the country’s frontrunners in the olive oil scene. Recently, they’re been expanding into uncharted territory for the average olive oil brand, launching four unique flavors of potato chips.
We Tried Roxberry’s New Kid-Friendly Soda And Here’s Our Honest Opinion
There’s a delicate dance that plays out when it comes to kids and soda. Soda is a must-have at parties and gatherings of any kind, and—let’s be honest—it’s a huge part of our cultural identity, at least in the epicurean sense. But, at the same time, we all know how detrimental it is for our health, especially for growing bodies. So, to deny kids the experience of a fizzy, sugary drink at a party feels a little cruel, but to let them indulge also feels wrong.

Fresh seafood from the gulf — along with the sacred mirepoix known as the holy trinity — is cooked into spicy stews to act as the bread and butter of this cuisine.
We Tried The New Knorr x Hot Ones Meals
What do spicy food and celebrity interview shows have in common? One thing: Hot Ones. The show is all about placing people of note in the “hot” seat and chatting them up as they make their way through varying levels of chicken wings, each spicier than the last. Now, Hot Ones is teaming up with grocery brand Knorr to dish up some quick meals inspired by the famous flavors in the internet show.
These Are The Best Items To Order At Sheetz, According To A Pennsylvanian
As a resident of the great state of Pennsylvania, I must admit that I’m a shucker for Sheetz. The quirky fill-up spot is one side of The Great Gas Station Wars of PA. The ongoing feud between Wawa and Sheetz is a significant part of Pennsylvania culture—pick a side or get out! I’ll keep my favorite of the two a secret, but I’ll divulge that I never pass up an opportunity to snag some grub from Sheetz.
17 Ways To Give Coffee A Fall Twist
I'm sure I don't have to be the one to tell you that coffee hits differently come fall. There's a reason why our favorite coffee chains keep pushing their fall menus earlier and earlier in the year (pumpkin in August? Sign me up). That first sip of a cinnamon-flavored latte or pumpkiny cold brew is what rings in the long-awaited season of cozy sweaters, picturesque foliage, and leaf-scented breezes.
We Tried Bones Coffee Company’s New Maple Waffle Brew
credit: sporked The season of flavored hot coffee drinks is finally upon us. While everyone is reaching for pumpkin spice coffee, or maybe hazelnut, I’m always opting for maple. Maple syrup is such an underrated sweetener for your joe―it provides both sugar and flavor, all with just one simple staple ingredient. Plus, it just hits differently come fall. This year, Bones Coffee Company took this dynamic duo a step further with their new Maple Waffle coffee.
The Best New England Dishes To Try This Fall
One of the most American experiences of all time is an autumn road trip to New England. Autumn is the season for gazing at colorful landscapes, soaking in the crisp leaf-scented air, and experiencing all the famous foods that go along with the season. But as much as we love leaf-peeping and cozy sweaters, deep down, we’re all most excited for the cinnamon-dusted comfort food. Sure, there’s pumpkin and apple pie, but those are ubiquitous all over the country.
9 Mistakes To Avoid When Eating At A Greek Restaurant
Greek cuisine is incredibly popular all over the world, and it's easy to see why. The Mediterranean country's food is famously healthy and chock full of downright addicting recipes, especially for anyone who's always seeking out a lemony sauce for their herb-heavy seafood dish. If you're looking for a type of cuisine for catering at your next big event, or you're searching for the perfect spot to take a large group out for a memorable dinner, you can never go wrong with Greek food.
16 Cheap Aldi Products You Should Avoid Buying At All Costs
As grocery prices around the country soar, our undying love for Aldi continues to grow. The German-born grocery chain has been making headlines as it opens up new stores all over the U.S., promising some salvation against rising food costs. It eschews name-brand groceries in favor of house-brand items, keeping prices ridiculously low, rarely sacrificing quality. Rarely — not never.
The Best Pumpkin Desserts That Aren’t Pie
The flavors of autumn are uniquely spiced, fruity, and warm, making it easily the most highly anticipated season for sweet treats (sorry, Christmas). But there’s one seasonal flavor that undoubtedly kicks all the others to the curb: It wouldn’t be fall without pumpkin-flavored everything.
The Taco Bell Subscription Service Nobody Asked For
You know how everyone just loves that everything is a subscription service these days? No? Just us? Really, we’re all fed up with paying monthly subscriptions for everything from movies to television to printer ink (yes, that’s a thing). But it’s not just media and tech that’s gone the subscription route.
Doughlicious Ice Cream Is Now At Costco And We Got A Taste
It feels like we’re all becoming more and more obsessed with grab-and-go snacks. And who could blame us? Personally, I love snacking in the car, while on a walk, on a job interview—you know, the places where you usually don’t have access to a kitchen and utensils. Well, desserts have long missed out on the grab-and-go trend, so when one rare, handheld frozen dessert comes into my life, I simply must oblige.
17 Of The Most Iconic Ingredients Native To North America
When we think of American cuisine, we usually picture juicy burgers, sauce-drenched barbeque, and hot dogs at baseball games. But long, long before the invention of barbeque sauce and sandwiches — and even agriculture, for that matter — meals were made from hunting and foraging the native flora and fauna that existed naturally all over the continent, from sea to shining sea.
These Are The Best Spicy Snacks You Can Get At Aldi
I pity those who live outside Aldi’s sphere of influence. For those out of the know, Aldi is a rapidly expanding grocery chain, born in Germany, but becoming increasingly popular stateside. But it’s not what you think of when you think of a typical grocery store. To me, Aldi is a communist utopia. There’s no excess or anything frivolous, just everything that you could possibly need and nothing more. Almost all products come from the store’s house brands, so the savings are unmatched.
We Tried Every Olive Garden Entrée And These Are The Best
Nothing screams comfort food quite like Olive Garden. Is it real Italian food? No. Do we care that the slightly overcooked pasta and milk-based sauces would make our nonna cry “Mamma mia!?” Not really—it’s delicious regardless. Sure, the chain’s very-Americanized fare is the butt of a few jokes, but don’t pretend like you don’t salivate at the thought of a heaping plate of gooey, cheesy, saucy Olive Garden pasta. I had the opportunity to get a taste of every entrée at the OG.
19 Fascinating Facts About 18th-Century American Cuisine
The 18th century was undoubtedly America's most significant period to date. Smack dab in the middle of the Era of Enlightenment, it was a time of exploration by land and sea, the emergence of great thinkers, and new beginnings for a brand new nation. By the 1800s, Britain's Industrial Revolution was spreading to America, making the 1700s the last era in which a rustic, close-to-nature way of life was the norm in our nation.

Countries With Some Of The World’s Best Street Food
When we think about food and traveling, it’s hard not to think of one specific kind of cuisine: street food. Ironically, street food is there for on-a-whim snacks, yet it’s often where you’ll find some of the best cuisine a city has to offer. Heck, there’s even a few street food vendors with Michelin stars. Street food is famous for its authenticity, low price, and its ability to bring people together—everyone walks the city streets and everyone gets hungry, so there’s no discrimination here.

We Tried Every Death Wish Coffee Product And These Are The Best
Hooray for CAFFEEEEINE!!! Ahem, sorry, I had a lot of coffee. In fact, I tried every single product from Death Wish Coffee, the company famous for packing extra caffeine into its organic, fair-trade beans. They make everything from pre-ground coffees to canned iced drinks to cold brew, all from specially selected Arabica and Robusta beans. And no, you don’t have to special-order these high-octane brews. In fact, you’ll find Death Wish at national chains like Walmart and Target.

These Are The Best Fast Food Chains In America You’ve Never Heard Of
One of the best things about America is that it’s really, really big—and its grandiose scale yields some really fun regional cuisine.

10 Discontinued Cereals From The '80s We Still Mourn At The Grocery Store
Few decades of the 20th century evoke such visceral nostalgia as the '80s. Life was simple, hair was big, and everything was colorful — including the food. And no meal fully embraced the vibe of the decade more than breakfast. Nowadays, we tend to enjoy a simple smoothie — maybe with a side of toast, if we're extra hungry — as our first meal of the day, but in the late 20th century, breakfast was a loud, lively event.
These Are America’s Weirdest Regional Foods
American food gets a bad rap, but it’s pretty undeserved. Where else can you get a three-course meal at the gas station and a burger the size of a toddler? American food is all about cultural amalgamation, and that blending of cultures yields some… let’s just call them “unique” recipes. These dishes become staples in their respective regions either for being incredibly delicious, exceptionally weird, or both.
